Beatrice Chebet outsprinted fellow Kenyan Faith Kipyegon in a stunning finish to win the women's 5,000-meter world title on Saturday, completing a 5,000-10,000 double in Tokyo to match her Olympic haul last year.
The world record-holder's victory in 14 minutes, 54.36 seconds completed her set of global distance titles and denied 1,500-meter champion Kipyegon a double of her own in Tokyo.
Given Chebet's devastating kick, Kipyegon might feel she made her break to the front on the last lap a bit early and she had to settle for silver in 14:55.07.
